Description
Welcome to the Green Jack Brewing Company website. Green Jack was founded in 1993 by Tim Dunford, we are a multi-award winning traditional real ale brewery based in Lowestoft in Suffolk. From humble beginnings Green Jack has now grown into one of the largest real ale breweries in East Anglia. In 2009 we built a new 38 barrel brew house in an old smoke house in the heart of historic Lowestoft. This enabled Green Jack to produce significantly improved volumes of our award-winning real ales. Green Jack beers are now available nationwide and online via our Real Ale Shop. Green Jack beers are known for their subtle balance of sugars, malt and hops, we produce beers of our design along with our own contemporary take on traditional English beer styles.

(Gravicask at Bree Louise, Euston, London, 4 Aug 2009) Golden colour with an amber hue, brief white head. Fruity, slightly wheaty nose with notes of orange peel and a slight sourness. Fruity taste with smooth hints of orange and wheat. Mild bitterness in the finish. Thin body, smooth, with balanced sweetness. Different but drinkable.

[Gravity cask at Chippenham Beer Festival 2009] Grassy hops, just a hint of orange, slight fizz and a subtle bitterness in the finish. Delicate, refreshing and very nicely done. Good stuff.

Cask@GBBF2008. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is sour apricot, some fruits and mild notes of wood. Flavour is much the same, with pine and apricot being sweetish sour and the fruits and wood giving a bitterness to it.
